En los pasillos de esta novela, una mujer se repite y multiplica. Se desdobla. Una de ellas elige la renuncia y el escape; la otra permanece siguiendo su propio rastro. Algo sucede en su cerebro. En ese trance, cuando sus recuerdos, sueños y miedos se entrecruzan en un presente continuo, ellas se preguntan si el pulso de su deseo es seguir viviendo. Isla partida es una novela fractal, poliédrica, una escritura del delirio que retrata un pensamiento fuera de los límites; una casa de los espejos hecha de lenguaje.

Two women have avoided it: the young trapeze-dancer, Ren, locked into the high-end sex club; and former SecretBurgers meat-slinger turned Gardener, Toby, barricaded into a luxurious spa. Have others survived?
